EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting of Saint Alexander Nevsky, dating back to the second half of the 18th century. Housed in the esteemed Collection of Ikonen Museum Recklinghausen, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich history and profound influence of Christianity in Russia. Saint Alexander Nevsky, revered as one of Russia's most prominent saints, was not only a religious figure but also a statesman and military leader. Clad in armor that symbolizes his valiant efforts against invaders during the Middle Ages, he stands as a powerful representation of Russian resilience and faith. The painting depicts significant historical events such as battles against Mongols and Teutonic Knights. It highlights Saint Alexander Nevsky's pivotal role in defending his homeland from external threats while upholding Orthodox Church values. The golden hues used in this tempera on panel artwork evoke an aura of divine protection surrounding him. As part of the Rurik dynasty that ruled over Kievan Rus, Saint Alexander Nevsky played an instrumental role in unifying Slavic peoples under Russian leadership. His victories at Neva Battle and Battle on Lake Peipus solidified his reputation as a heroic figure who safeguarded Novgorod and Vladimir from invasion. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and a historical treasure for those interested in Russian history. Its presence reminds us of Saint Alexander Nevsky's enduring legacy as a saintly ruler who defended his people with unwavering courage amidst tumultuous times
